I hve no idea where the code is. It was written 12 years ago. I changed computers a couple of times during this period and it got lost in the shuffle. Sorry.

Maybe I figured it out.

Could someone tell me how to attach photos. Appparently I didn't do it right.

Ten years ago I built JGRO's router. I have never been satisfied with it. It has always had slop in the Z axis that I could not get out. The design was not the problem. My build was the problem....

I copied the code on the link supplied by cncbasher.

It works like a top.

All I need to do now is sharpen a 1/4" dowel, chuck it up in my router and start digitizing.

Thanks again for the...

Thanks for the reply cncbasher.

Apparently there is a bug in the release I'm running. Maybe I can get an update before my next digitizing project. I only digitize occasionally.

I tried to digitize a simple rc airplane body today. What should have taken 15 minutes took two hours.

I was running a diy probe. The procedure I use for digitizing is I jog to a point I want,...

I recently became interested in cutting lithopanes. I have cut a couple from plastic cutting boards from Wal-Mart. This does not work too good. I finally found some small pieces of Corian which,...

I thought this thing was over but it seems to be mushrooming.

I am running TurboCNC in pure DOS on the dumpster machine I described above and it runs fine. But, parallel ports are a thing of the...

I appreciate all the replys.

I am now running an old HP 166mhz with 32k ram and Windows 98 that I actually dug out of a dumpster. It has proven to be the most dependable machine that I have. ...

Thanks Samco

I guess your reply pretty well killed this idea.

I won't go to a lot of trouble to do this and I'm certainly not going to screw up my shiny new computer trying to do it.

I just bought a new laptop. It is equiped with a 160 GB harddrive and of course Vista. I am toying around with installing Ubuntu and EMC2 as a dual boot system because I think the harddrive is big...

Switcher thanks for the link. I think I may already have those files and just forgotten about them. I have been out on the web looking for code for connecting to a database. I found...

fkaCarel I appreciate your suggestion but honestly I have no inkling of what you are saying.

At least the thread is getting a little discussion now and that's what I wanted from the start.

I...

Switcher, I couldn't help but notice that you say you are using VB.NET 2003. You probably know that Microsoft is giving away VB.NET 2005 Express, or at least were a few months ago. I don't know if...

Switcher, I'm afraid it's going to be too complicated to do what you suggest. There are a couple of big problems. The first is size (height and width). I will treat these pixel coordinates as...

vacpress it's just too primative for anyone to run except me right now. There is a certain operating sequence that must be followed, if the image has too much detail the outline results in garble...

:cheers:
Just got my outline working. The procedure I was using was right. I was trying to do too much in one step. The photos I am using are already almost silhouttes. They are profiles of my...

Thanks for the replys fellows. It looked as if there would be no replys.
Progress:
I am working with VB Net 2005.
I have the form built.
I can load, crop, and flip/rotate the image.
I am...

I would like to write a VB program that would write GCode to cut a Silhoutte ( I don't know how to spell Silhoutte) from a digital photo. Please don't suggest buying software to do this. I built...
